You may sign up to receive notifications about emergencies or public safety concerns that may affect the cities of Ammon, Idaho Falls, Iona, Irwin, Swan Valley, Ucon, and the County.

BCECC will be able to broadcast real time critical information about incidents that may have a significant impact to Bonneville County residents and visitors. These emergency alerts could be related to specific hazards that require action be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water, etc.

You may receive information as a text message, an email, a wireless or landline call, or through the mobile app. Adding your optional address will provide you with geographically targeted alerts when an emergency impacts your specific location.

These alerts are provided free of charge, however, standard text messaging rates and other charges may apply from your wireless carrier. Download the free MyAlerts app today from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store or text your zip code to 38276.

Types of Alerts:

My Locations:Simply add all the locations that matter to you, both within the county and even in other parts of the country. For example, you could identify your home, your child’s school, where your aging parent resides, the university where your older child attends, and your office. When you travel, you can enable the app to “monitor my current location” in order to receive any emergency alerts issued for the city or area you are visiting.

Public Safety AlertsReceive emergency alerts from public safety alerting authorities, notifying you of situations that threaten the safety of yourself or those you care about. Public safety alerts include events such as crime, active shooter, imminent danger, hazardous materials, wildfire, floods and the need for immediate evacuation.

Severe Weather AlertsReceive advanced warning of severe weather when you or one of your locations is in the direct path of the storm. AlertSense receives feeds from the National Weather Service, automatically interprets the geographic area affected, and delivers targeted alerts immediately to app users when one of their locations falls within the impact area. You can tailor your alert settings by location, selecting the severity level for which you want to receive notifications. For example, you can choose to receive only the most severe weather warnings or all watches and advisories as well.
